    The Center for Mental Health Services awards grants each fiscal

of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the 
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands from allotments authorized 
under the PATH program established by Public Law 101-645, 42 U.S.C. 
290cc-21 et seq., the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance 
Amendments Act of 1990 (section 521 et seq. of the Public Health 
Service (PHS) Act). Section 522 of the PHS Act requires that the 
grantee States and Territories must expend their payments under the Act 
solely for making grants to political subdivisions of the State, and to 
non-profit private entities (including community-based veterans 
organizations and other community organizations) for the purpose of 
providing services specified in the Act. Available funding is allotted 
in accordance with the formula provision of section 524 of the PHS Act.
    This submission is for approval of the annual grantee reporting 
requirements. Section 528 of the PHS Act specifies that not later than 
January 31 of each fiscal year, a funded entity will prepare and submit 
a report in such form and containing such information as is determined 
necessary for securing a record and description of the purposes for 
which amounts received under section 521 were expended during the 
preceding fiscal year and of the recipients of such amounts and 
determining whether such amounts were expended in accordance with 
statutory provisions.
    The estimated annual burden for these reporting requirements is 
summarized below.
